Philbin hired by Dolphins

Congrats Joe Philbin! Read here from Jay Glazer. While I can’t imagine even going through an interview process so shortly after such a tragic loss, I wonder if now may be as good a time as any for Joe and his family to start the process of moving forward. In his time under McCarthy, I’ve gone from thinking Philbin didn’t do anything (assumed McCarthy did everything) to realizing that Philbin really was a big part of the coaching staff. He helped put together game plans every week, was very engaged with the players and was a critical person at practice orchestrating everything. He’s smart, he can be funny and he’s a good guy by all accounts. Congrats Joe – you deserve it.

Looks like the MM/TT coaching tree is going to start having some branches removed.
